The present experiment was a preliminary attempt to use the psychophysical scaling methods of magnitude estimation and cross-modal matching to investigate suprathreshold judgments of lingual vibrotactile and auditory sensation magnitudes for 20 normal young adult subjects. A 250-Hz lingual vibrotactile stimulus and a 1000-Hz binaural auditory stimulus were employed. To obtain judgments for nonoral vibrotactile sensory magnitudes, the thenar eminence of the hand was also employed as a test site for 5 additional subjects. Eight stimulus intensities were presented during all experimental tasks. The results showed that the slopes of the log-log vibrotactile magnitude estimation functions decreased at higher stimulus intensity levels for both test sites. Auditory magnitude estimation functions were relatively constant throughout the stimulus range. Cross-modal matching functions for the two stimuli generally agreed with functions predicted from the magnitude estimation data, except when subjects adjusted vibration on the tongue to match auditory stimulus intensities. The results suggested that the methods of magnitude estimation and cross-modal matching may be useful for studying sensory processing in the speech production system. However, systematic investigation of response biases associated with vibrotactile-auditory psychophysical scaling tasks appears to be a prerequisite.

Abstract The effect of stimulus valence was examined in the evoked cardiac response (ECR) elicited by the exposition of neutral and negative slides as well as by an innocuous auditory stimulus presented on the affective foregrounds generated by the slides. The exposition of the aversive slide produced prolonged cardiac deceleration in comparison with the neutral slide. Similar prolonged deceleration accompanied exposition of the neutral auditory stimulus on the negative visual foreground in comparison with the neutral foreground. We interpret these results as an autonomic correlate of extended stimulus processing associated with the affective stimulus. The initial deceleration response, covering two or three slower heart beats, may be prolonged for several seconds before HR reaches the baseline level again. In such a case the evoked cardiac deceleration can be functionally divided into two parts: the reflexive bradycardia (ECR1) elicited by neutral stimuli and a late decelerative component (LDC). We can speculate that the latter is associated with an additional voluntary continuation of processing of the stimulus. This must involve some cognitive aspect different from the mental task performance which leads to the accelerative ECR2, and we suggest that processing of a stimulus with negative valence is involved in generating the LDC.

Risk Spreading

Predation of offspring is the main cause of reproductive failure in many species, and the mere fear of offspring predation shapes reproductive strategies. Yet, natural predation risk is ubiquitously variable and can be unpredictable. Consequently, the perceived prospect of predation early in a reproductive cycle may not reflect the actual risk to ensuing offspring. An increased variance in investment across offspring has been linked to breeding in unpredictable environments in several taxa, but has so far been overlooked as a maternal response to temporal variation in predation risk. Here, we experimentally increased the perceived risk of nest predation prior to egg-laying in seven bird species. Species with prolonged parent-offspring associations increased their intra-brood variation in egg, and subsequently offspring, size. High risk to offspring early in a reproductive cycle can favour a risk-spreading strategy particularly in species with the greatest opportunity to even out offspring quality after fledging.

Ladeedah is an audio novella that takes place in a Black utopic space after “the improvised revolution.” Ladeedah is a tone-deaf, rhythm-lacking Black girl in a world where everyone dances and sings at all times. What is Ladeedah's destiny as a quiet, clumsy genius in a society where movement and sound are the basis of the social structure and the definition of freedom? This excerpt from Ladeedah focuses on Ladeedah's attempts to understand the meaning of revolution from her own perspectives—at home, at school, and in her own mind and body.

Ampas tahu mengandung isoflavon genistein dan daidzein yang diduga memiliki efek hipoglikemik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji efek hipoglikemik fraksi etil asetat ampas tahu (FEAAT). Ekstraksi isoflavon ampas tahu dilakukan dengan metode refluks menggunakan etanol dan HCl, kemudian fraksinasi menggunakan etil asetat. Efek hipoglikemik FEAAT dibuktikan menggunakan ikan zebra sebagai hewan uji. Kelompok perlakuan terdiri dari kontrol negatif (akuades), FEAAT1 dan FEAAT2 dengan konsentrasi 3,75% dan 5% serta kontrol positif (metformin). Hiperglikemia diinduksi dengan perendaman menggunakan aloksan 0,05% selama 30 menit, glukosa 1% selama 30 menit. Selanjutnya dilakukan pemberian sampel uji selama 120 menit secara berurutan untuk menguji efek hipoglikemik dari sampel uji. Cuplikan darah diambil pada menit ke-0, 30, 60, 90, dan 120 untuk diuji kadar glukosa darah. Hasil uji menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang nyata pada luas Area Under Curve (AUC0-120) kontrol negatif dengan FEAAT2 dan metformin (p < 0,01). Sementara hasil nilai AUC0-120 FEAAT1 tidak berbeda nyata dengan kontrol negatif. FEAAT2 efektif sebagai agen hipoglikemik pada model hewan ikan zebra yang diinduksi hiperglikemik.
